Hello,
Lately on my mac OS X (snowleopard) computer, when I run the Rgui it is
freezing because of its function lookup feature.
Specifically, as I type at the command line, there is a feature where if
I type "print(" it shows at the bottom the arguments for the print
function. The problem is when I type a typo (my frequent typo is
"heaD(") it goes to look this up and completely freezes my Rgui and I
have to force quit the program. Of course the feature does it as I type,
so it doesn't matter if I press the backspace to fix it, etc. It's too
late. I don't remember it doing this before, but now it happens many
times a day -- I don't know what has changed. It also doesn't do it all
the time; I think it is related to having set options(error=recover).
This is because it is producing an error that it can't find heaD as a
function.
Is there a way to turn off this feature? Failing that, some work around?
Its not responding to escape/ctrl-c etc.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Purdom
